    We usually come to Onga specifically for their galbitang, which is normally amazing, but over the past year or so, the flavor just hasn't felt the same. We went late at night after 10PM this time, not sure if that was the issue, but the broth lacked the rich depth it used to have, and the meat was surprisingly tough and chewy. Disappointed with the decline in consistency, as this used to be our go to spot

    Yukgaejang
    Lynne C.

    Large restaurant with lots of seating. Service here is great. The banchan was good and flavorful. There are lots of soup options here to pick from. The yukgaejang was a little less flavorful than I would have liked but they do have salt and pepper at each table so you can season your dish to taste.

    Number 14. Rice cake & dumpling soup
    Jamie A.

    My goodness! Such a cozy stop for dinner! I ordered the rice cake with dumplings soup, number 14 and I was very satisfied, cozy, warm, and ready for a long nap~ took a long drive up to NY today and we decided to try out this place near our hotel. Such great selection already but super happy we picked this soup spot. Plenty of seats, clean, and kind service. The staff speak Korean, but they are proficient in English and understand enough to provide great service. Looks like families visit too and is know to locals. The sides are service in larger banchan bowls. It all tasted very homemade, and delicious purple rice. The soup I ordered could've fed two people, but I slowly ate and ate 2/3rds ~ light and flavorful. There's some pepper and salt on the side of the table that can be added~ I added a tad bit of salt. My all time favorite and cozy meal served with love~ I assume because I was ready for a warm bath and sleep~ tea and water are complimentary~ the tea is served hot and very earthy with no sugar~ I think it works best for the soups to keep digestion going because the bowls are a good size~

    2 soups. Don't remember the names lol. Boiled dumplings. Could've ordered 2 orders to be honest.

    Great food, just wish they had more meat dishes because it's mainly soups. Soups are great though ! Good sides, usually kimchi, radish, onion/jalapeno, green onion. Best thing is that they're 24 hours. I went there around 3:30am after a nice ride with my cousin on our motorcycles.

    Option 2. Ox Bone Soup with Beef Brisket $19.99
    Jane K.

    This may be my new to-go Seolleongtang place. Must choose their Ox Bone Soup with Beef Brisket (option 2; $19.99) over their Beef Soup (option 1; $17.99) for a much more tender meat. Traditionally, you season the soup with salt/pepper/scallions provided, pour the whole rice into the soup, place some kimchi/radish and enjoy. Love that they provide japgokbap (Korean purple multi-grain rice, which is much healthier than white rice) and boricha (Korean barley tea), which you don't see as often in restaurants anymore. Hit the spot for my nausea. Service was accommodating, offering more rice, side dishes and tea on the house. Plenty of space for large groups and parking outside, as it's in a small plaza. The only complaint would be that it can get chilly sitting by the door during winter, whenever someone opens it.

    Tasty soups and I'd absolutely recommend ordering the galbijjim with cheese if you're coming with a group. It's delicious and was our group's unanimous favorite. The soups are also generously sized and I had enough to bring some leftovers home. Overall had a nice, casual lunch here with friends. It gets a bit busy during peak weekend hours, but tables seem to turnover pretty frequently.

    Yukgaejang (Spicy Beef & Leek Soup)
    Jenna K.

    Authentic is the first word that comes to mind, the taste of these soups are truly deep in savory flavor and reminiscent of my visits to Korea. Especially the Kkakdugi (spicy diced radish kimchi) which was sensational! The Beef Bone Broth had lot of beef slices with deep bone broth flavor but the winner was yukgaejang soup with its ample shredded beef and leek with savory flavorful soup based that was divine. The meat was on the bones and it was delicious yet the quantity was not as much for the price. However, I still think ir is worth it for the deep umami souptaste, even if it is on the pricier end of this type of dish. Service is as busy and hectic as expected in this type of restaurant. They weren't too keen on refilling the "banchan" (side dish) that's one of the reasons I enjoy Korean food. This is one of the service points that I look for whenever I visit Korean restaurant so they did not meet the full mark as I would've given to others who make you want to come back because the service is so good. Nestled among rules of smaller shops in the Hannam market shopping centre, Onga is located between Café Trois and Lovely Puppy House. Seating is cafeteria style, and it reminds me of many traditional Korean restaurant interiors of experience, experienced firsthand. It does get a bit noisier as more people come in because everyone is usually talking. The menu is the placemat and selections are on the smaller end as their specialty is soup/broth based dishes. Free parking is right in front of the restaurant, if you can find one. No worries as there's plenty because it is a shopping center with a grocery store. It doesn't look like it's the shopping center crowd. If you know what I mean. Because Hannam Market also has food court inside many people take advantage of that eat their and shop for groceries. This seems to be more people who purposely go to a restaurant and then a lot of them go to the café next-door, which is kind of a common thing among Korean patrons. Since there are other two restaurants/food food court that carry the same dish (one being inside the Hannam Market and other being DOL Restaurant that is on the complete opposite end of the shopping center in the corner), this place I would visit again if I had guests from out of town so that they would have a solid, good meal and the café experience next-door. My rating for the food is 5.0 and the restaurant itself is 4.0.

    4. Ox knee soup
    Jonathan C.

    Very casual k-soul food restaurant, but a tasty & value meal place. -Food: *Spicy beef brisket w/ dried cabbage soup - 5/5 - extremely tasty and reminds me of home town soup that we had a long time ago *Ox knee soup - 5/5 - they put 2x Ox knees compared to other k-restaurants near by -Service : 4/5 - prompt - do not expect anything more -Ambiance: 3/5 - It's a k-soul food place. Eat fast & go I will be a regular here. Breakfast menu is an excellent value

    Beef soup
    Irina G.

    Came here hungry. I needed some comfort food after a stressful flight and everything was closed. This place serves warm meat soups 24 hours a day. I got the basic beef soup. It hit the spot. My initial reaction was that the soup was too simple. It needed more salt and flavor, but still - hot the spot. It's a simple soup without too much Bella and whistles. The hubby got an ox soup and I liked his soup much better than mine. It tasted like bone marrow and had glass noodles. A win in my book. I will get that one if we go back. Decor is simple and service is good. I also liked the sides. Overall simple, good food and open 24 hours.

    20. Prime braised beef rib, Galbijjim
    Aram L.

    Pretty decent spot for good korean style ribs (galbi jjim). We walked in for a weekend dinner and our group was seated right away. Service was friendly and as you'd expect from similar restaurants. Food was good - we got the galbi jjim and oxtail soup (sullung tang). My one issue was that we ordered mild/not spicy and holy moly it was so spicy. Not sure if that's usual or if my spice tolerance went way down but just something to note. Ambiance is as you'd expect from similar restaurants in the area. I'd say it's worth a shot for pretty good korea style ribs.

    Kalbijjim
    Huiwen C.

    The kalbijjim is out of this world! It might even be better than the ones I've had in Cali. The meat was super flavorful and tender. There were only 4 bones so it was mostly meat and vegetables (there were potatoes, rice cakes, carrots). I loved the potatoes that soaked up all the flavor. The portion size filled up 6 of us so it was worth the hefty price. The soups we're also outstanding. The Seolleongtang was rich and perfect for a cold day. The interior is spacious with many tables and the parking lot outside is large.

    Spicy Beef & Leek
    Steve S.

    Overall it more more like 3.5 stars. It's good enough to go back for lunch. And they do give you decent amount of meats/contents compared to other places (4 stars). The soup base was OK (3 stars). It didn't taste like it was boiled for long period or anything special. I was with 3 other people and had similar 3~4 star rating for their dishes. FYI, the dishes/ratings among the group were ox knee soup (3), beef brisket ox bone soup (4), spicy honeycomb & beef soup (3.5), and spicy beef and leek soup (3.5). I couldn't do 4 stars because the kimchi is the most important side dishes at a soup place. Needed a bit more fermentation. Also, even though you can ask for more, its cumbersome to keep asking when there is a small dish of it for 4 people. Place was nice and clean, staff were friendly, and it is open 24/7. Maybe I will give it another go for that additional star.

We opted for the $90 2 person combo which came with your choice of 3 meats. Our server helped us and recommended us to try the dry aged pork belly, pork jowl and marinated pork short rib. All of the meats were incredibly good! The pork combo also came with the fluffiest steamed egg and your choice of soup. They also gave banchan which was your typical kimchi, pickled radish, corn salad, as well as tteokbokki, pajeon, and raw marinated crab! Overall, we loved the food here. Service was amazing, our server was super attentive and helpful. He grilled all of the meats to perfection! Highly recommend coming here

That gave us enough time to have the place to ourselves and order literally everything they could think to serve us. This was easily one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat cuts were all perfectly marinated and grilled, from the Dry-Aged Pork Belly, to the tender Pork Jowl, to the juicy Marinated Pork Ribs. The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again.

Came on a weekday night and there weren't many people in the store. - Deluxe Gomtang - I think the difference between the normal gomtang and the deluxe version is that they give a bit more meat and rice. I really liked the gomtang as the flavors were really rich especially when elevated by the pepper. - Seolleongtang - Clear and beautiful broth that went really well with salt. I felt like the meat was not as tender as I hoped but still made me think of my favorite Korean restaurant where I grew up. - Kong-guksu - I didn't know what to expect of this dish as I've never heard of it or tried it before but I didn't really like the dish. No matter how much salt/pepper I put in, there still didn't seem to be a lot of flavor. I ended up dumping the Korean Pickled Onion banchan in which helped elevate the flavor a lot. - Mini KimchiJeon - When I read this off the menu, I though the kimchi pancake would be extremely small but it turned out to be quite bit and very delicious. It was super crispy on the outside with soft insides stuffed with kimchi. I will definitely be back to this home-y restaurant!

You get a lot of food and the food is delicious and the meat is high quality. The service is always fantastic. We had a big party and were seated right away on a weekend.

But if you want to gauge price a little, we went with 4 adults, 3 kids and ordered japchae (glass noodles), kimchi pajeon (pancake), 2 bottles of soju, drinks, a meat set that came with soup, 2 types of pork and 2 types of beef and it came out to about $350, tip included.

The meat was fresh and tender, and grilled up beautifully alongside some mushrooms, garlic, and daikon on the tabletop grill. Loved that they threw in fresh herbs (rosemary/thyme) on the meat too -- nice touch. Banchan was plentiful and kept coming, so you're never short on sides. For dipping, you get a choice of garlic scallion sauce, soybean paste (ssamjang), or just salt -- all solid options depending on what you're grilling. Service was attentive and quick to help with the grill and refills without being intrusive. The restaurant has a big dedicated parking lot, which made getting in and out so much easier. Will definitely be back to try out the intestine options.
